It's obvious by now that no terrorists did 911...
So now people know this and they are trying to figure out how it was done.
When someone introduces a theory in the realm of 911 being an inside job, people will call them disinfo if they don't agree with the theory...
This is getting ridiculous to say the least. Why can't people be open to all possibilities on how 911 was done. There are multiple evidence that
suggests all kinds of theories so how can a theory be a disinfo?
I admit my first instinct is to counter your opinion that it's "obvious" 9/11 was an inside job (I find it higly likely), but I'm respecting your
opinions, and these, along with general theories, are in a realm beyond disinfo. You're right there. We each chose our own path. Even if that pth is
to not choose your own path and follow instead. There's no right way to think, no right way to believe.
But there is a rational way.
It's when we get into facts, or things claiming to be facts, like when used to BACK a theory, that we're dealing in
information, the value of
which is supposed to be in its description of the real world. When such info can be shown or strongly illustrated to conflict with reality rather than
describe it, we must start considering puttin a "mis" in front of it. The dis of course is harder to read, being in the intentionality and strategy
behind it. It's often impossible to prove, whether from a gov. agency or a hard truther, but there are times when enough evidence accrues that we
should
consider the possibility of deliberate disinformation operaations.
The disinfo is the official story, that's about as far as disinfo can go...
Correct IMO as well, except for the "the" implying this is the only source of relevant disinfo. But it counts for sure - facts that are wrong (tho
more eften omitted or treated more subtly), purposeful (tho most involved BELIEVE they're telling the truth), and strategic (tho who exactly is
directing the strategy is unclear). The purpose:ti turn a preventable and possibly inside-engineered "catalyzing event" to go down as just that,
with the trajectory of the "War on Terror" built right into the evidence. It would look real IMO, and to some extent probably was, which is why I
have a hard time with the "hard proof in plane site" crowd and those who seek to "loose the change" based on a mulching of this evidence (which is
neither entirely right nor entirely wrong).
You can't have disinfo if the theory is still saying 911 was an inside job.
Again, there is no disinfo theory, but there is disinfo evidence - say two are mutually exclusive theories, both claiming inside job but one must be
incorrect at least, and the info spun to support it becomes "missed" or possibly "dissed" if we're honest. Until we can sort out which is true,
of course we can't point a finger and say "that's misinfo," or begin to speculate, as intelligent people should have asked on 9/11, did they screw
up so bad on purpose?
All theories on how 911 was done are speculations at this point so how is it possible to single out a theory and stamp it disinfo? It
can't...
Disinfo's purpose is to hide who did the crime to the population, not say that 911 was an inside job but hide how it was done. That's like admitting
to a crime but tell the police that you used a sword instead of a knife...
Or have someone else tell the cops that for you, but a knife was found at the scene and the wound matched... they'd dismiss the sword guy as crazy,
apologize for the hoax, and drop the case. Well, not for you or me, but it's sure worth a try. If that's what's happening here, it's working for
them so far... How is that new official investigation going that'll have subpoena powers and the ability to prosecute?
Simply, you can't have a disinfo if the theory still says that 911 was an inside job because the purpose of disinfo is to sway the populations
that 911 was done by terrorists. Any theories that suggests inside job no matter what the claim on how it was achieved is the resulting manifestation
of individuals who are doing research and putting up theories on how it was done.
Can you really vouch for the accuracy of 100% of their info, and for the true intentions of every one of these noble researchers? Remember I'm one of
'em to, though I have got more on this "infighting" tangent - but by my understanding of the word anyway, this stance makes no sense.
Your thread is titled "careful with disinfo accusations," which is reasonable enough. But in reality you seem to be saying here that, BY DEFINITION,
no such thing as disinfo from within the movement exists. With all due respect, that's a pretty silly thing to say. Or am I misreading?
So for the record, supposing strategic, malevolant, black ops disinfo from someone describing themselves as a truther was indeed possible, should we
confront it and correct the record, or ignore it since it's "friendly fire?" Again, hypothetically speaking...
It's all in the details.
